He informed his fans that he was taking action to "fix" himself after becoming lost in a downward spiral in a statement posted online, on Sunday.

And on Monday it seemed that Jeremy McConnell was determined to make good on his word, as the 27-year-old former Celebrity Big Brother star was seen cutting a stoic figure as he left his home in Dublin for what is believed to be a stint in rehab.

With his hood pulled up over his head, and with a bottle of water clutched in one hand, the Irish model looked prepared for the day ahead, which according to The Sun Online , involved checking himself into a facility for treatment.

According to the website, Jeremy, who has also had to cope with the sudden loss of both his father and aunt last month, has "gone in to treatment to battle his booze and drug demons' at an unknown facility for an undetermined amount of time.

When contacted by Mirror Celeb a representative for Jeremy declined to comment on the matter.

Wearing a jazzy t-shirt, bomber jacket, ripped jeans and a pair of pastel trainers, Jeremy looked as though he could have been heading anywhere - cutting a colourful but low-key figure.

Possibly keen to keep as low a profile as possible, the former CBB star donned a cap and pulled the hood of his jacket up over his head, slightly obscuring his face.

Clutching a large bottle of water in one hand and the case to his colourful sunglasses in the other, Jeremy strode towards a car parked on the driveway of the house.

Later that day, Jeremy was seen deep in discussion with a male friend; the tattooed reality star appeared deep in thought as his friend talk to him.

Jeremy's departure from his Dublin home came just 24 hours after he issued a heartfelt statement to his fans and followers on Instagram in which he said he was seeking help, though he made no mention of checking himself into a rehab facility.

In the post the reality star spoke about feeling alone at times and how he had taken to “punishing himself” in the past, adding: “I always said I never cared what people thought of me but deep down it’s been that supportive comment on Instagram or Twitter that’s made me feel a lot better.

“The people who know me know I’m a good guy and have a massive heart, I’ve just never handled fame, money or actions very well and got lost in a downward spiral.”

He also said he'd never "used [his] misfortunes in life for sympathy or excuses" saying lots of people have tough lives, it's just because he's in the public eye his are well known.

The reality star lost his mother, brother and sister within weeks of each other as a teenager, and his beloved dad died earlier this year, followed by his aunt.

Jeremy - who has a three-month old son, Caben, with ex Stephanie - then concluded by saying he was going to “fix” things and never look back.

“I’ve learnt from my mistakes, this will be my last message for a while," he said. "I’ve decided to take the appropriate action for myself and my new family and thank you for everyone’s support and to a new lease of life.”

After Jeremy posted a lengthy statement online about his struggles with fame and the need to take time away to work on himself and his wellbeing, a proud Stephanie wished him luck - though her statement alluded to the fact that Jeremy was seeking professional help.

She tweeted: “Today is the day. I’m so proud of you for finally doing this. Do it for me and Caben but most importantly do it for yourself.

“I know you got this now. Say goodbye to your demons and start a new lease of life with happiness. I have every faith in you.”
